WOYWW

 Well folks - no work on my work desk but a few fab photos to share.

Last week we spent a few days in Yorkshire.

The weather was lovely, so we had a day in York, a day at Harlow Carr Gardens (RHS) and a day walking The Strid at Bolton Abbey. We also squeezed in a train ride from Skipton to Carlisle over the Settle/Carlisle viaduct. The views were wonderful.

Here are a few photos of our trip.

The four seasons...




These were huge sculptures with a nod to the artist Arcimboldo.


Gorgeous Autumn colours.
AND a lovely steam special in the pouring rain at Carlisle.

I hope you are all well - thanks for commenting on my post last week.

I will pop round to visit your desks this week - providing Tilly doesn't have too much work for me to catch up on!

xx Jo

Love those fruits/veg sculptures, genius! So glad you had a lovely few days away. In all the steam train journeys I’ve ever done, don’t think I’ve ever gone over the Settle/Carlisle viaduct. Hope you’re keeping well,

Wow, those sculptures are amazing - how clever. So glad you enjoyed your few days away - I had to laugh as I've never seen Carlisle in anything other than very heavy rain!
Hope you have a lovely week

That looks like a great few days away. I so love train trips ant that one sounds perfect. The Arcimboldo style pieces look great. He is an artist you love or hate but my pupils used to love making and painting work based on his art work. Wishing you a very happy and creative woyww, Angela x9x
